2.2 General Safety Instructions
Please read the Instructions for Use rst! Before using the product, you should become familiar with
the handling, function and use of the product. You may compromise your safety if you do not observe
these instructions.
However, it is impossible to protect against and avoid all unforeseeable circumstances and situa-
tions.
We recommend that,
wherever and whenever possible, users of a wheelchair, mobility base with seating shell or buggy
transfer to the seats installed in the motor vehicle for the disabled and use the corresponding vehicle
restraint systems, as this is the only way to ensure optimal protection of the passengers in case of an
accident. The Avantgarde wheelchair for active use is permissible for transporting passengers in motor
vehicles when using Otto Bock safety components as well as appropriate restraint systems.
For more information, please refer to our instructions for use manual "Using your Wheelchair/ Mobility
Base with Seating Shell or Buggy as a Seat for Transportation in Motor Vehicles for the Disabled",
order no. 646D158.
Do not ascend or descend stairs without the assistance
of attendants. If devices such as ramps or elevators are available, they should be used. If wheelchair-
friendly access is missing, two attendants must carry the wheelchair over the obstacle.
If only one attendant is available when ascend-
ing or descending stairs, an incorrectly set anti-tipper (if mounted at all) can lead to severe falls. Adjust
the anti-tipper so that it does not come in the way of the steps during transport. Afterwards, swing the
anti-tipper back to its operational position.
Attendants must lift the wheelchair only
by parts that are rmly attached (e.g. not at the footrest or rear wheels). If your wheelchair is equipped
with height-adjustable push handles, ensure that the clamping levers are always rmly tightened.
